Surviving a second Trump admin*

Holy shit.

Potemkin presidency. Made for TV. Stay tuned!

On a selfish note we're likely to hear that grating voice a lot less often.

Opps, Jasmine beat us to it, sort of:

Trump weaponizes tariffs against specific company:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 47530.html

President Donald Trump threatened to impose 100 percent tariffs on toy-maker Mattel after the company said it would diversify its production to other countries, but not the United States.

Sitting in the Oval Office Thursday, Trump indicated he was not afraid to punish Mattel, the creator of Barbie, Hot Wheels, Uno, American Girl and more, for refusing to move its production in the U.S. – the ultimate goal of Trump’s tariffs.

I thought we in the United States were free to do as we pleased? I thought we didn't like command economies?

Also, the stupid fuck still doesn't know what a tariff is

Trump brushed that claim off, saying tariffs were “the most misunderstood thing … in any form of business.”

“Oftentimes, the country picks them up, oftentimes the company picks it up, the people don’t pick it up,” Trump asserted in the Oval Office on Thursday.

Genius

Trumpaloons haven't gotten any smarter since the election.

USA quickly reverting to a past era of magic and superstition. Congrats to forward thinking countries on being able to soon scoop up our best and brightest when the brain drain kicks in full steam.

We're also scaring away foreign best and brightest, people who would either stay and contribute to America or who would bring American knowledge and values back to their own lands.

Poll numbers only matter if our democratic processes will continue. That seems less than certain at the moment.
